well...

my two cents,

1- due to recession market conditions of UAE are not good (in some industries its worse)
2- currently audit firms (including big 4) are not inducting trainees (a friend of mine told me, working with one of big 4)
3- if you have permanent visa (as xubi mentioned) it would definitely going to help you alot (specially when applying for job)
4- if you have a non-green passport (british, canadian, american or any western country specially) you have the upper hand
5- emphasize on the "extra" thing...meaning, what extra qualification/certification you have, what extra courses you've got, what extra knowledge of IT you have, what extra languages can you speak (specially french and spanish) etc.
6- prior job/working experience is a plus point
7- try mastering MS Office (word, excel, excel AND excel, powerpoint, visio, project & MS Outlook)
8- try having an understading of Peach Tree, Sage, Tally & MS Office Accounting as these are the most common softwares being used in UAE
9- try having grip on operating systems other than windows (like linux)
10- focus on what you want (job or articles...i would recommend you to complete your articles from pakistan, as there is no subtitue of experience in an industry like pakistans (seniors would agree with me) 'coz jitney frauds, problems, corporate governance issues, tax kay ghapley, accounting k masaley, complex business combinations etc etc pakistan mey milein gey, you cant find in UAE or any gulf country) further, there is no state bank in UAE, no SECP, no companies ordinance, no tax authority, no legal framework...my friends...you can make the decision easily now...for a broader knowledge (after qualification) i would prefer you to complete your articles from pakistan then think of moving to uae having much much broader knowledge than a uae article guy (no offense to anybody, not degrading uae students at all, my opinion for what i left uae and came to pakistan)

regards,
